A Few More Date Details

My rings stayed home. On Saturday, I wore all three rings on my necklace, and I really liked the way it looked and it felt OK not to be wearing my own rings on my finger. But when Sunday rolled around, I wanted to wear a different necklace and it didn't feel right for me to wear my wedding rings on my hand, so I left all the rings at home. Today I'm wearing all three rings on my necklace, which I think is going to be my new usual.

He's really tall, definitely over 6'. I felt like an elf.

He got chocolate ice cream.

He walked me to my car, and his parting words were, "I like you." (It sounded better in person.)

I'll be disappointed if that's the last I hear from him, but no matter what may come of things, I feel like moving forward on the dating front is the right thing to be doing.

I agree with previous writer, I think him saying "I like you" is neat. It sounds like it went really well and you had fun and you can hear some excitement in your writing. At least it went well enough that you both would like to hear from each other. And yes, keep us posted!

I really like "I like you!" And at this stage in the game, a little bit of (travel-forced) time betwixt meetings may not be such a bad thing...after all, it got you thinking/evaluating enough to do this secondary post!

Just from the way you've always described John as your best friend, the awesome relationship you had, I think he would want this for you right now. That piece of him that is always watching over you, is nudging you on.

One of the best gifts you can give your kids is for you to be happy. It's brave of you to put yourself out there to meet new people, and I'm glad to hear that your first date went so well. Best wishes!
